Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice wine vinegar to the pork. Stir until the liquid reduces and coats the meat in a glossy glaze, ~3 minutes.
Step 3
Push the pork to the side of the skillet. Add 1 tbsp fresh oil to the empty side and crack both eggs into it.
Step 4
Fry the eggs until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with glazed pork, a fried egg, scallions, and a pinch of chili oil.
